Abstract

Un gestionnaire de câble comprend une première partie et une seconde partie qui coopèrent pour retenir au moins un câble. La première partie de certains types de gestionnaires de câble est configurée pour être maintenue dans une ou plusieurs positions rotativement fixes par rapport à la seconde partie. Par exemple, la seconde partie peut comprendre au moins un bras de retenue qui s'étend au moins en partie sur un berceau de câble de la première partie lorsque la seconde partie tourne jusqu'à une position fermée et qui permet d'accéder au berceau de câble lorsqu'elle a tourné dans une position ouverte. La première partie de certains types de gestionnaires de câble est configurée pour être maintenue dans une position d'une pluralité de positions axialement fixes par rapport à la seconde partie afin d'accueillir des câbles de diamètres différents.
